Introduce the helper function disk_zone_is_offline() for testing if a zone
of a gendisk has the offline condition. The zone to test is identified
using a sector number that must belong to the target zone to check.

Split out most of the code of blk_revalidate_disk_zones() into the
internal function disk_revalidate_zones(). This will allow calling this
new helper together with other code under the zone revalidation mutex.
No functional change.

Recent SCSI (SBC) and ATA (ACS) standards define the storage element
depopulation feature. This feature is intended for managing hard-disks
heads, either combined read-write heads or pairs of read and write heads,
allowing to keep disks with defective heads longer in production by
allowing "depopulating" (removing) defective heads.
This feature comes in two different flavors:
- A destructive version which removes a head and reformats the disk at a
lower capacity point, restoaring a fully functional contiguous LBA
address space.
- A data preserving version restricted to host-managed zoned disks, which
marks the zones served by a removed head as offline or read-only.
In preparation for using the data-preserving flavor of the depopulation
feature in file systems natively supporting zoned block devices, introduce
a set of storage element management operations and functions to define
generic calls into block device drivers for managing storage elements.
The set of operations is defined with struct blk_se_ops and includes three
operations:
- report_elements: get information on a device storage elements state
reported with the new struct blk_se.
- remove_element: depopulate a defective storage element
- restore_elements: restore depopulated storage elements
Each operation is called from the functions
bdev_report_storage_elements(), bdev_remove_storage_element() and
bdev_restore_storage_elements().
Removing a healthy storage element from a device is possible and useful
for testing. The storage element restoration operation restore_elements
allows repopulating such healthy element. Repopulating defective storage
elements is generally not allowed by devices. The remove_element and
restore_elements operations are executed under the zone revalidation lock
so that they are serialized iand also serialized against user initiated
device revalidation, thus allowing to always have a consistent view of the
device zone conditions.
The device drivers of zoned block devices can indicate support for the
storage element depopulation feature by specifying the storage element
management operations with the se_ops field of struct
block_device_operations.

Define the new ioctl commands BLKREPORTSTORELEMS, BLKREMOVESTORELEM, and
BLKRESTORESTORELEMS to provide users accessing zoned block devices
directly with an interface to the storage elements management operations
of the block layer.
The ioctl BLKREPORTSTORELEMS allows to get the total number of storage
elements of a zoned block device and to get an array of storage element
descriptors (struct blk_se) describing the current state of the device
storage elements.
The ioctl BLKREMOVESTORELEM can be used to remove (depopulate) a storage
element that has a degraded status (i.e. BLK_SE_STS_DEGRADED).
Finally, the BLKRESTORESTORELEMS ioctl interfaces with
bdev_restore_storage_elements() to restore the depopulated storage
elements of a zoned device.

zloop_queue_rq() maybe called from softirq context with interrupts
disabled. However, zloop_queue_rq() may call
zloop_set_zone_append_sector() which takes a zone wp_lock using a simple
spin_lock(). This can cause deadlocks with competing contexts that have
already taken that lock. Avoid this by using the irq disabling/enabling
variants of spin_lock/unlock. While at it, zloop_report_zones() is also
modified to take the wp_lock around both the write pointer and the zone
condition reporting to ensure that both values are consistent for a
report.
Fixes: fcc6eaa3a03a ("zloop: introduce the ordered_zone_append configuration parameter")

Emulate the storage element depopulation feature of SMR disks in the
zloop driver. This emulation is controlled using the new stor_elements
option.
This option can take several values:
- ZLOOP_STOR_ELEMENTS_NONE (0): no emulation (default)
- ZLOOP_STOR_ELEMENTS_RDWR (1): emulate all access storage elements
(e.g. read+write heads)
- ZLOOP_STOR_ELEMENTS_PAIRS (2): emulate fractional access storage
elements (e.g. pairs of read and write heads)
If enabled with the value 1 or 2, the number of storage elements, or of
pairs of fractional access storage elements, is automatically calculated
based on the number of zones of the device so that we have at least 2 and
at most 32 storage elements (or 2 pairs of fractional access storage
elements).
The mapping of zones to storage elements is defined simply as the modulo
of a zone number and a storage element ID. E.g, removing a storage
element from a set of 4 storage elements will offline 1 zone every 4
zones.
The storage element management operations are specified with the
zloop_se_ops (struct blk_storage_elements_ops).

Allow users to mark storage elements of a zloop device as degraded using
the new "degrade_element" control command. The element to degrade is
indicated using the element_id option. Example:
echo "degrade_element id=0,element_id=2" > /dev/zloop-control
If the element ID identifies an all access storage element, read and write
operations targeting a zone served by the degraded lement are failed.
For a partial access storage element, read or write operations are failed
depending on the storage element type. This check for an element status
is done without taking the storage elements mutex lock, so in order to
avoid memory access ordering issues, storage element status access is
changed to use READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE().
The zoned_loop.rst documentation file is also updated to explain this new
feature.

+------------------------------
+
+When storage element emulation is enabled, storage elements can be set in a
+degraded state to emulate defective storage elements (e.g. defective heads of a
+hard disk). This is done by issuing the "degrade_element" command to
+/dev/zloop-control, specifying the ID of the target device and the ID of the

+element serving the zone is degraded, or if the storage elements are emulated

Issuing read commands to offline zones of a ZBC disk will result in
failures. So do not issue such command and fail then early in
sd_setup_read_write_cmnd(). This change also checks write commands, which
is fine but should actually never happen as the block layer zone write
plugging code already fails write BIOs to offline zones early in the
submission path.

sd_zbc_revalidate_zones() skips revalidating the zones of a ZBC device if
the zone size and total number of zones of the disk has not changed. This
is to avoid a call to the rather slow blk_revalidate_disk_zones().
However, for ZBC devices that support data preserving head depopulation
(REMOVE ELEMENT AND MODIFY ZONES command), a disk capacity and number of
zones does not change after a head is depopulated but the condition of
zones changes as the zones served by the head that was depopulated become
either read-only or offline. In this case, not calling
blk_revalidate_disk_zones() prevents the block layer from taking
appropriate actions on the zone write plugs of the disk for the zones that
became read-only or offline.
Avoid any issue with the block layer view of the zone conditions by not
skipping the call to blk_revalidate_disk_zones() for disks that support
the REMOVE ELEMENT AND MODIFY ZONES command. This check is done from
sd_zbc_read_zones() using the helper function sd_zbc_check_modify_zones().
The new scsi disk flag modify_zones_supported is defined to remember the
result of this check.

Define the storage element management operations using struct
blk_storage_elements_ops. These operations are valid only on SMR disks
supporting the storage element depopulation feature.
